Chapter 13: Emma's Condition
Emma had three more seizures while in the hospital, and Adam had Jesse and Shalimar come up to see her.
We were all worried about her, and Adam was constantly talking to her doctors. I knew he had found
something out so I went up to him, privately and started talking to him. "Adam, what's up?" he looked at
me as if I was crazy and said "What?!" "With Emma." I explained. "What did you find out?" "Oh.
Nothing." He replied, not truthfully. "I know you know something." I protested. "Brennan, if I knew
anything, I would tell you." He assured me. "Oh yeah. Is that right? I find that very hard to believe Adam. I
know you know something and you better tell me." I warned him. "Brennan, I don't." "No Adam," I
interrupted. "You do. You just don't want to tell me." I paused for a second before continuing. "Fine. I'll
just go talk to the doctors myself." "Wait Brennan," Adam stopped me. "Okay, I do know something." I
shook my head and looked at him. "Surprise, surprise." I said sarcasticly. He looked at me agitated and said,
"I just didn't want to see you end up like you did last time." I nodded my head in agreement and he
continued. "The doctors told me they don't think that Emma has much of a chance." He said, letting the
sorrow show on his face. "How much of a chance?" I asked him, not letting myself get too worried yet.
"15%" he replied very quietly and I could tell he didn't want to accept it. I walked out of the room, leaving
Adam alone and afraid. I found the other in Emma's room because she was conscious. I walked up behind
Shalimar, on Emma's right side, and smiled down at her. I didn't know if she had been told or not yet so I
decided to pretend I didn't know. She smiled back at me and asked how I was. "I don't really think that's
too important right now, but I'm alright." I lied. "How are you hanging in there?" "Great." She said, almost
sounding happy. "Tell Adam I'm sorry about screwing up his plans to visit the mutants today." She said and
fell back asleep right away. "I have to tell you guys something." I said, and took my eyes off her. "What is it
Brennan?" Shalimar asked in a 'this isn't the right time' kind of way. "Adam talked to the doctors and they
said they didn't think she has very much of a chance." I repeated what Adam had just told me. "What do
you mean?" Jesse asked, sounding terrified. "They said 15%." I told them regretting it. "No." Shal said and
looked at Emma sadly. "This can't happen. She's gonna be ok." she tried to convince her self but I could see
it wasn't working. Tears started flowing down her checks and I placed my hand on her shoulder. She turned
to me and wrapped her arms around me, laying her head into my chest. I gently embraced her, feeling her
sadness become my own. Jesse looked at us nervously and I could see tears forming in his eyes too. I felt
like the world was falling apart and I, once again, got the feeling of jumping into my bed, and locking
myself in my room. I looked down and kissed Shalimar's head, hoping to calm her as well as myself. Just
after that, Adam came in the room and knew that I had told them. Me and Jes looked a him, but Shalimar's
head remained buried in my chest. Adam walked slowly up to Emma's bed, reached his hand down, and
stroked her check with his thumb. He turned away, his back to her, threw his head into his hands and tears
started rolling down his face as he realized Emma was dieing, and he had no way of saving her.
